However, a [[Healer]], or a [[female]] wearing a [[nurse uniform]], needs only one-third as many turns. A [[female]] wearing a [[nurse cap]] needs only one-half as many turns.

A bandage is a type of item that appears in NetHack brass. It can be used to heal yourself slightly.

Generation

Bandages can be made by applying a pair of scissors to a cloth item.

Description

Applying a bandage to yourself will take a random amount of turns based on your dexterity and intelligence - the formula is 9+500/(DEX+INT), with a minimum of 10 turns. This duration is reduced by 2⁄3 if you are a Healer or wearing a nurse uniform as a female character, and is reduced by 1⁄2 if you are wearing a nurse cap as a female character; both turn reductions can stack, resulting in 1⁄6 of the duration required. If the bandages is not applied after 50 turns, you will give up the attempt.

Applying an uncursed bandage restore 4d4 HP, while applying a blessed bandage heals 6d4 HP. Cursed bandages are "unclean": applying one causes 1d15 damage and has a 1⁄13 chance of being "badly contaminated" and inducing sickness - a player killed this way has the cause of death livelogged as "medical malpractice".
